Abstract model theory

Last updated

In mathematical logic, abstract model theory is a generalization of model theory that studies the general properties of extensions of first-order logic and their models. [1]

Contents

Abstract model theory provides an approach that allows us to step back and study a wide range of logics and their relationships. [2] The starting point for the study of abstract models, which resulted in good examples was Lindström's theorem. [3]

In 1974 Jon Barwise provided an axiomatization of abstract model theory. [4]
